Cumilla-4 Member of Parliament Hasnat Abdullah has requested that the government provide vehicles for lawmakers to facilitate travel to their constituencies. Speaking in the national parliament on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, he thanked the government for providing offices at the upazila level but said that having official vehicles would make it easier for MPs to reach people.

Opposition Leader Dr. Shafiqul Rahman thanked the treasury bench for acknowledging the issue and humorously suggested that the minister could have responded more encouragingly to the young MP’s request.
